APLAWS is an Open Source Content Management System developed to assist UK local authorities deliver services online. During 2001/2 the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister funded the APLAWS Pathfinder Project to develop web standards and an Open Source Web Content Management System that could be freely adopted by any local authority in the UK.

Following the massive interest in the Pathfinder, the APLAWS Project was taken forward as part of the Officer of the Prime Minister's National Projects programme and became the foundation of the Content Management Strand of the Local Authority Websites National Project over the period April 2003 - March 2004.

The system is built on-top of the open source Red Hat Content Management system including full workflow management tools and can use either Oracle or PostgreSQL database systems. It relies heavily on XSLT templates to run.
